On November 4, Homo Digitalis took two complementary actions before the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA) regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence by the Ministry of the Interior in the evaluation of public sector employees.
1st intervention: We are representing a public sector employee in a complaint filed with the HDPA, requesting an investigation into how the Ministry responded to her request for access to her personal data, as well as broader issues concerning compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
2nd intervention: We are calling on the HDPA to investigate the matter on its own initiative, as the use of AI may affect thousands of public sector employees who may not have been adequately informed.
We recall that, as early as July 2026, together with the Institute for Research on Regulatory Policies and the public sector employee concerned, we had also filed a complaint with the National Transparency Authority, requesting an investigation into compliance with transparency obligations and the requirements for an algorithmic impact assessment. The complaint is currently under investigation.
Artificial Intelligence in the public sector must not operate without transparency, accountability, and respect for workers’ rights! We will continue to call for meaningful oversight and the protection of everyone’s personal data.
